I view each person as an expert of their own experience, with therapy as a collaborative process focusing on an enduring connectedness with others and the world. I use an empathic, compassionate, and direct approach, which may allow for safety and trust to develop. Supported by my undergraduate training at San Francisco State University, and graduate training at the California Institute of Integral Studies, I believe in the importance of socio-cultural, environmental experiences as they contribute to the innate resilience and compassion within each person.

As an Integrative Health Practitioner, my approach to therapy is holistic in nature. The intention for my work is to empower individuals to love themselves through devotion to body, mind, and spirit. Together we can learn ways to develop a deeper sense of understanding, compassion, and acceptance of yourself. I offer an eclectic approach to this work which is Jungian informed, soulful, heart-centered, and intuitive. My work with clients often includes making room for our grief and acknowledging the ways grief is not honored in our culture. This work is sacred to me and I am deeply honored to join my clients on their healing journey.

My intention is to gently guide you towards your own innate wisdom and fully support you as your transformation unfolds. I prefer to take a direct, experiential approach, meeting each client where they are at and honoring their individual needs. I specialize in body-based (somatic) inquiry to address a variety of issues, with a specific interest in treating trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. My therapeutic approach is uniquely inspired from my own personal experience with healing, drawing from both ancient Eastern philosophy and modern research-based theories of attachment and developmental trauma.

You’ve been putting everything into your relationships and job since you can remember and you are TIRED. Tired of saying yes when you already have too much on your plate, tired of the exhausting task of managing other people’s lives, and just plain tired of not having enough room for YOU in your life. It’s been so long since you prioritized your own needs that you aren’t even sure what having time for yourself would look like or how to get it. Part of you is terrified that people won't like you if you start saying no to their requests and part of you even feels guilty delegating some of these tasks.

Looking for a therapist can be daunting, especially if you are seeking support for the first time. You may feel pressure to know “what kind” of therapy will be best for you or feel anxiety about what actually happens inside a therapy session. I give the same advice to every friend and client who asks: choose your therapist based largely on the connection you feel when you meet them. Do you feel listened to? Do they speak to you in a way that helps you to understand yourself better?

I offer holistic, heart-centered therapy and focus on the mind-body connection. I will support you as you navigate life’s struggles, deepen your inner resources, and develop tools to embrace a rich and meaningful life. I bring attunement, warmth, and curiosity to my work, and I believe that we are all capable of growth. It is an honor to hear your story and bear witness to your experience.

Hello! I am now taking new in-person clients. If you are reading this, chances are you may be struggling with parenting, connecting with your partner or building meaningful relationships. Or perhaps you want to better understand your own individual mental health journey. We can often feel overwhelmed and unable to see our role in the problem. This tends to cause anxiety, depression, and can sometimes cause us to turn to substances to cope. Sometimes we just need a little guidance to get us to our goals.

Voted Best Therapist for 7 years! Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you unsure how to get the life you want? Sometimes negative thinking, anxious thoughts, unhealthy relationship patterns, previous traumas, (or something else) holds us back from reaching our true potential. It's during these times, that it's difficult to see your value and the strengths you bring to yourself and others. It doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy is an opportunity to work with someone to get the life and relationships you have always wanted - and to feel good again.

Life can be overwhelming, and trying to manage it alone can exacerbate anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. In times like these, I am honored to walk alongside those who are aware that a change needs to happen, but don't know what steps to take. If you are feeling lost, stressed, anxious, or hurt, I would love to support you in finding your footing again.

Life, with its many surprises and challenges, has a way of distancing us from our true self at times. If there are any parts of you that feel stuck, confused, anxious, depressed, broken; If you are having doubtful, fearful, or critical thoughts that are weighing you down or interfering with your contentment in your relationships or family or work, therapy can help. In therapy, I guide you to connect to your inner wisdom, the “true you” that knows what is right for you, and we work to unburden you from unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so that you can find more energy and live a more free and fulfilled life.

Having a guide who has experienced trauma, who has faced life's hardships, & who has chosen to walk a path of self-discovery, provides a level of understandings that fosters caring & effective insights. Encouraging & nurturing complex exploration to uncover internal wisdoms. Where personal courage begins to lead the way toward a more authentic, & aligned way of being, that becomes the healing process.

Life is complex and requires continual adaptation. I am passionate about helping people find a pathway through difficult times by validating their experiences, identifying unhelpful patterns, finding new solutions, and working towards healing. Healing is a process that requires feeling safe in a caring, non-judgmental environment. Each person has their own story to make sense of, and befriend. I am here to provide a down to earth approach and trusting space for you to expand your awareness, coping skills, problem solving, and distress tolerance. Being heard and feeling understood can help in all our other relationships.
